PSA Graded Card - Certification #72711611 - Grade: VG-EX 4

This is a 2004 Japanese Pokemon trading card featuring Charizard ex from the 'Charizard Starter Deck'. The card is holographic with a sparkle foil treatment throughout the card face, which features vibrant orange and red tones and a dynamic Charizard artwork by Hironichi Sugiyama. The text and move names are in Japanese. The card has silver borders typical of EX era Japanese cards and a horizontal banner indicating it's an 'ex' card. The bottom right displays the set number (012/052) and the EX Series symbol. There is no autograph. Notable features include the EX rule box and strong collector demand for Charizard ex cards. The card is encapsulated in a PSA slab, graded VG-EX 4, showing visible wear such as corner/edge whitening and potential surface scratches or holofoil marks, consistent with the grade. This issue is known for its scarcity in high grades due to holofoil sensitivity, and is part of the mid-2000s resurgence in Pokemon TCG popularity.
